KINGDOM DYNAMICS Matt 27:32 The Cross-Cultural Nature of God’s Word and Work, HUMAN WORTH. This text reminds us that different cultures were represented at Calvary and in the church. 

1) 

Simon: Wise men of all ages would be honored to be allowed to perform the task that was conferred upon Simon of Cyrene, a black man from northwestern Africa. Whether it was voluntary or by force, in any case, black hands were extended to help the Savior bear His cross.

The Ethiopian eunuch from Africa (Acts 8:26) was the first Gentile convert mentioned by name in the Book of Acts. History reports that he returned to Ethiopia to found the Abyssinian Christian Church, which exists until this day.
